For Teachers

The Watson-Brown Foundation offers a myriad of grade - appropriate programs in history and environmental science tailored to Georgia's Performance Standards in Education as well as National Education Standards.

Field trips and activities are free for educational groups; this includes (but is not limited to) public schools, private schools, and home school consortiums, as well as Boy Scout and Girl Scout groups.

Groups are required to have at least 1 chaperone per 10 children for the duration of their visit.

Confirmation of all program plans, including the number of attending students, will be required no less than 5 days in advance of your visit. Thank you for your cooperation.

**Please note, we are a small staff and for groups of more than 40 students, or more than 2 classes, we MAY require a teacher or chaperone to lead at least one activity.

Please note that we have 2 sites we utilize for field trips. For all Civil War programs, Butterfly programs, Day of the Dead, and many ecology programs the trip will be held in the Monroe Kimbrel Gardens at 310 Tom Watson Way, Thomson. For Progressive Era, Hickory Hill, and some ecology programs the trip will be held at Hickory Hill. Review your communications with the Education Staff to ensure you are clear on where you will be hosted. We will only host programs at 1 campus per field trip. You are always welcome to come back!

**Our sites do not have food service or vending/soda machines.

Outreach for Schools

Hickory Hill recognizes that time doesn't always permit your classes to visit us, so we can come to you! Outreach programs are free and aligned to Georgia Performance Standards.

Educator Workshops

Georgia is presently re-vamping their Educator Certification requirements, so Hickory Hill will not be offering in-house teacher training until that is complete. Schools and districts may request inservice workshops for their teachers. Contact Michelle at mzupan@hickory-hill.org for more information.
